  • Mask on text… animate text

    Posted by Captain Mench on November 17, 2005 at 6:42 am

    Sorry — Drawing a blank here:

    I’m trying to animate scrolling text but within a mask box.

    Layer 3 – background
    Layer 2 – Title text – stays locked to the top of screen
    Layer 1 – Scroll text

    I want the scroll text to scroll up but only within the area of the mask. When I added a mask using the mask tool to Layer1 the mask moves when I change the position of the text.

    What am I forgetting?

    Thanks

    I figured it out…

    Had to add a white solid and then mask the solid and Travel Matte Layer1 (now2) to it.

    Thanks anyway.
